This study investigated the convergent and discriminant relationships between a children's life satisfaction measure, the Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS; Huebner, 1991a), and a widely used self‐concept measure, the Piers‐Harris Self‐Concept Scale (Piers, 1984). Correlational and regression analyses demonstrated stronger relationships between the SLSS and the Piers‐Harris Happiness and Satisfaction subscale compared to the other Piers‐Harris subscales. The results of a conjoint principal components analysis also revealed predictable overlap between the SLSS and the Piers‐Harris Happiness and Satisfaction subscale. Implications for future research are discussed.
